In the long-running history of the UFO Phenomenon, numerous aspects of encounters with these Others stretch our imaginations to the breaking point, pushing the outer limits of our capacity to even conceive of technologies that could accomplish what our eyes and others senses are telling us we’re apparently witnessing.

In terms of the demonstration of evidently advanced technology, the craft controlled by this supposedly non-human intelligence make maneuvers that are not only death-defying, but that break our very notions of how physics works. Engineers and aviation experts tell us that, not only do we not have vehicles that can perform like this, but that we can’t really even presently conceive of how such feats could be accomplished — even theoretically. Add to the mix that reports suggest a direct consciousness link between pilot and craft is key to the operation of these vehicles, and our understanding is stretched even further.

Teleportation is another apparent feature on display with these craft. In other words, not only do witnesses — including trained, expert, military witnesses — see these UFOs/UAPs racing across the sky at breakneck speeds, making 90 degree turns on a dime, without even slowing, but witnesses have also reported seeing craft — even massive mother ship types the size of football stadiums – suddenly materialize before their eyes, out of nowhere. And they can apparently disappear — dematerialize — just as quickly and completely.

And the wizardry on display by these Others doesn’t stop with the demonstration of their external technology. They also readily demonstrate an ability to interact with us directly — mind to mind — that is equally baffling. Not only can they seemingly control our very perceptions: to the point that we can no longer trust the output generated by our brains to be an accurate depiction of what’s actually “out there”, but, despite clear species and vast cultural differences, they seem able to effortlessly communicate with us, telepathically, bypassing the need for language translation altogether.

Furthermore, not only is the means of their communication almost always telepathic in nature, but this direct telepathic communication seems to come across at a much broader bandwidth than typical human communication; meaning the entire, nuanced emotional content of a thought is shared — seemingly instantaneously. And even more startlingly, the human beings being contacted find that they can communicate back — through the same telepathic means — just as easily.

Somewhat disconcertingly to some, even when one chooses not to share a thought, one’s thinking and feeling seems still to be laid bare to these Others. In other words, they can seemingly read out minds and hearts, as it were. Furthermore, and even more discombobulatingly, they seem to have knowledge of ever figment of our lives, and not only in its present state, but going back into the distant past — as well as the distant future.

But how? How is all of this accomplished? How are we to make sense of this? Figures like Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon, and Dr. Rudy Schild, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, have led the way in engaging in these matters, advancing some intriguing possibilities. And the fascinating new conceptions around the nature of the intelligence behind the UFO Phenomenon, postulated by Mitchell, Schild and others, is the topic of this, the 12th episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.
